Salamol 2 puffs before doing anything to open up your airways,I'm afraid I usualy forget and cant say I think its that much cop

I rarely use my ventolin (salbutamol, same as Salamol) it doesn't seem to help one bit. Even if i'm desperate and use it (with an aerochamber) hoping it will help, it never does. Not recommending anyone stops using theirs though! I imagine it's like everything else, it will suit some and not others. Libby

Qvar is a preventative medicine, it acts as an anti inflammatory, and should be used daily as prescribed, I use mine through a spacer but NOT the autohaler Using this med without the spacer would give me thrush in the mouth. Even with a spacer if you don't rinse out properly afterward still can cause thrush.

Lungs soon complain if you miss a dose too often.

Yes smoking will keep on causing more lung damage which in turn will lead to more breathlessness. Hope you kick the habit into touch soon.
